Naas CC Tour of Kildare

Anybody else doing this on Sunday? Weather looks like it will be good, mild with no rain

Also, has anybody got a Strava link to the 110k route from doing not last year. This years route is the same.

Cheers

Did it a few years ago and it is a fast route. Groupon was in clipped around at an aggregate of 35kph. Just be warned.

Can't make this year's one - here's my route from last year... some pretty fast pace being set up to the foodstop!! :eek:

Only bit I had an 'issue' with was the tiny little bohereen section that ran parallel to the M4 Motorway near Kilcock. Was really narrow for such a large group I thought, but alternative was to route it through Maynooth and then through Kilcock as well, so the wee road is probably the safest...they had marshals at the top of it anyways to warn traffic.

I recall a few years ago they went up over Newtown(?) where the big comms tower is located...thought that was a better route but there was oil or something on the descent and a few hit the deck hard.

Anyways - enjoy!!

I assume you missed the bit at the start that went "Remember this is a leisurely spin through Kildare and is not a race "

I may have slightly mis-heard that alright!
